What is VASER® Liposculpture?

Liposuction and VASER® Liposculpture is the latest and most accurate type of liposuction. Available at North Shore Specialist Day Hospital in Sydney, this technology differs to traditional liposuction by using ultrasonic waves to selectively breakdown/liquefy fat prior to its removal. The VASER® Liposculpture results in smooth, predictable results with minimal pain, swelling and bruising for the patient.

What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size of the breasts. You surgeon will discuss the implant placement and location of the incision with you, as well as the type of implant. The procedure usually takes around 1-2 hours. You will need someone to drive you home and stay with you overnight.

What is eyelid surgery?

Eyelid surgery is used to correct droopy upper eyelids and lower eyelid bags. In eyelid surgery excess skin, fat and/or muscle is removed through incisions on the upper or lower eyelids. The procedure takes about 1-2 hours under a general anaesthetic.

What is rhinoplasty?

Rhinoplasty, or a nose job, is a procedure used to improve the aesthetic or functional features of the nose. Rhinoplasty can be used to repair the nose after an injury, correct breathing problems, a birth defect or change the appearance. Your surgeon will make an incision between or inside your nostrils then separate the skin from your cartilage or bone and start the reshaping. The procedure takes about 1-2 under a general anaesthetic.

What should I expect during and after cosmetic surgery?

Your surgeon will explain what to expect before your procedure, and provide written instructions for care and recovery when you are discharged.
